Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) – A Big Business Problem?
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) sometimes seem so complex they must surely be applicable only to a big business. This is not so: COSHH applies to all organisations.
Almost every business uses chemicals, even if just for cleaning, and the requirements of COSHH need to be considered. Expensive and unnecessary issues can arise if COSHH risk assessments and controls are not put in place, even small quantities of chemicals can lead to ill health or injury.
